Phabtu To You Too
I should really start doing some Christmas-themed strips….
We finally have a tree in our house tonight. As long as I’ve been married, my wife has always insisted we have a real tree for Christmas. I come fro a family that reused the same faker from 1975-1994. At least. In fact, my parents may stil be using that thing. I think it had vacuum tubes in it somewhere. So every year, I grudgingly pick up a real tree with my wife and stress for 3 weeks or so over having a fire hazaard in the house. Of course if we had no tree in the house, I’d be pretty quick to find something else to stress out about. BUT not this year anyway. I successfully maneuvered a $20 fake tree from Target into the house tonight. Oh yeah, victory. That thing is GORGEOUS..if you stand 20 feet away and squint just enough for the lights to get those long bright sparky thingies. Well anyway, it was cheep, it almost resembles some sort of plant life, and it has decorations on it. Hey, maybe if we just smother it in decorations….
Well, happy Wednesday all..or Thursday by the time you read this. ;) And have a Merry Christmas this year!

Yes, I was raised in the Northwest. Land of the Evergreen. Acres and acres of gorgeous forestation. And shouldn’t all the trees just stay out there in those forests for people like Robert Redford and Al Gore? Why should I be part of the mass-murdering of our innocent wooden bretheren? Why shouldn’t we all don Birkenstocks, tie dye, hold hands and sing songs about peace and love?
